Obama to speak on birth certificate

Heard on rant radio on the way home a few minutes ago (right wing rant radio to be exact):

One good thing that has come of all this (birth certificate and Trump's leaping and hooting) is the end of Trump's candidacy.

Yes, and the end of Bachmann's as well.

So, maybe the Republicans will actually run an electable candidate, how about that!

Well, there really isn't anything he could show that would detract Birthers effectively. That's why I thought this was a pointless gesture.

I agree. Completely.

Jerome Corsi, arguably the king or the birfers, is claiming this is just the beginning...
"Public pressure finally forced Obama to do what he did today. Now the game begins! Nixon thought he could stop the Watergate scandal from unfolding by releasing a few tapes. All that did was fuel the fire." ~ Jerome Corsi, 4.27.2011

Funny, ain't it? All this time, the birfers kept insisting that, "all Obama has to do is release his long form certificate and this will all go away," but when he does, the king birfer announces that releasing the long form certificate only inspires him to press on. :roll:

This is no surprise. Those who embrace conspiracy theories typically reject or ignore evidence that rebuts their conspiracy theories i.e., JFK assassination, the USS Liberty incident, the U.S. moon landings, 9/11, etc. Conspiracy theorists have a belief that somehow there is missing information that would, if revealed, confirm their largely or wholly unsubstantiated claims. Their worldview is an illusion that cannot be punctured by facts/evidence, reason, or persuasion.

And this is exactly why I believe Obama made a big mistake.

That doesn't excuse it. Seriously, it begs the question why do birthers ask more of Obama than others? If you can't answer it, others are left to answer for you. :coffeepap

So Obama saying he would be transparent and then spending a million dollars to hide his past is ok? You need help
 
I seriously doubt that this is going to shut the birtards up because they'll just say "Oh, its fake. Where's the real one you Kenyan?" because they don't want the truth, they just want Obama out of office.

Why do you care? It's pretty clear that your opinion of Obama likely won't be swayed by him releasing any of his records.

What is he hiding? I want to know why he has said he would be transparent and then seals all records to be the most secretive president in history

That's the fault of the birfers who refused to accept the official document of birth from the state of Hawaii. It's Obama's fault they are a bunch of morons?

God knows you can complain about Obama being non-transparent as a President in some forms. However, PERSONAL RECORDS has nothing to do with being a transparent president. Jesus Christ, if you demanded he let you put on a rubber glove and finger his asshole to check his prostate and he declined I halfway think you'd go "SEE! SEE! He's being SECRETIVE! He promised to be transparent yet he seals everything! EVEN HIS ASS!"

There's ways to argue that Obama's failed in being transparent as a President. Not releasing PERSONAL records that are irrelevant to his duties as a President isn't one of those.

It has everything to do with it. It has to do with credibility. His lies make him not credible and reflect negativly on the United States as a country

It is a re-election thing. His political team probably decided that Trump was a threat, so they torpedoed his candidacy.

I don't think it was that at all. If that were the case, I would imagine Obama would have strung Trump along even more, at least until he announced he was going to run. I believe the catalyst for the timing was the Jerome Corsi book due out in a couple of weeks. It's already #1 on amazon and Obama just deflated it.

That's such a cop out. People were demanding his documents as if to imply that he had something to hide. I don't blame him for not releasing them previously. I wouldn't have released them at all. To give these whackjobs any legitimacy would be foolish.

Absolutely. He's the POTUS, so everything is his fault.

He wouldn't release his long form? Must be a Kenyan.
He released his long form? Trump wins!

He must be personally responsible for the idiocy of the birther movement in one way or another.

Did Bush claim to be a transparent President.

Obama is showing he lies and that when he says transparent he really means secretive I will seal everything

I don't suppose you can quote what Obama said about "transparency," could you?

OO, OO, I know! Pick me!

Barack Obama said:
Going forward, anytime the American people want to know something that I or a former president wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the Attorney General and the white house counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with the rule of law. Information will not be withheld just because I say so; it will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well-grounded in the Constitution. Let me say it as simply as I can: transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency

What sealing? He's already released a certificate of live birth, had his BC confirmed by the governor of Hawaii, the'res no pleasing you people. Damned if you do....

Transparent doesn't mean that he needs to procure any document in order to please a small paranoid group of detractors, especially when he's already provided plenty of evidence already. If a handful of people demanded proof that Obama isn't in fact two kids in large coat would he need to waste his time disproving that as well?

As president his education and life history and part of his transparency

Birthers will believe anything.

When fact-checking, we think the onus is on the person making the claim to back up his statement. And the only backing we've seen in this case is that the Obama campaign's legal team spent more than $2 million on legal fees since the election ended. It's clear to us that the WND story has been twisted to wrongly assume that every dollar the Obama campaign spent on legal fees went to fight the release of Obama's birth certificate. The evidence shows that's simply not true. It's a huge, unsubstantiated leap to assume that all, or most, of that was related to lawsuits about Obama's citizenship. We rule Trump's claim False.

Says who? You? He has in fact made it quite clear that his children(ie part of his "life history") are off limits. He has also never said that this was the case, never promised this, nor is he legally required to do this. So why do you think it should be the case?

Obama has no one but himself to blame because he said he would be the most transparent president

Pointless because it took 2 years

No pointless because nothing he could have done would have appeased you, crazies are still going to want more or claim that it's a fake. There's nothing he can do that will make you people happy so why try?
